Molex 0761651606 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Molex 0761651606 is a 144-position connector header designed for backplane applications. This through-hole, press-fit header features male pins with gold-plated contacts and is manufactured in black Impact style. The component is actively produced and maintains full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional requirements must be met due to supply constraints, design flexibility, or application-specific needs while maintaining compliance with electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Molex 0761651606 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must equal 144
• Connector Type: Must be Header, Male Pins
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination Method: Must be Press-Fit
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 85°C
• Material Flammability Rating: Must meet UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: Must be ROHS3 Compliant

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 2007804-1 qualifies as a substitute based on these core parameters. However, the pitch specification differs between the main part and the substitute, which affects PCB layout compatibility and must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Molex 0761651606 and TE Connectivity 2007804-1 maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected designation. Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the -55°C to 85°C temperature range. Contact finish specifications are identical at 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating.

The primary distinction between these parts is the pitch specification: 0.053" (1.35mm) for the Molex part versus 0.075" (1.91mm) for the TE Connectivity part. This difference directly impacts PCB footprint design and cannot be overlooked during component selection. Selection between these parts must be based on PCB layout requirements and existing design constraints rather than electrical or thermal performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2007804-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Molex 0761651606?

A: Both parts share identical position count (144), connector type (Header, Male Pins), mounting method (Through Hole), and termination approach (Press-Fit). However, the pitch differs: 0.053" versus 0.075". Direct substitution requires PCB redesign to accommodate the different pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between these parts?

A: Pitch determines the physical spacing between connector pins on the PCB. The Molex part uses 0.053" (1.35mm) spacing, while the TE Connectivity part uses 0.075" (1.91mm) spacing. This affects PCB trace routing, via placement, and overall board layout. The parts are not interchangeable on the same PCB without layout modification.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental and safety standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and are actively produced.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for both parts?

A: Both the Molex 0761651606 and TE Connectivity 2007804-1 feature gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical contact performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: Do these parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 85°C, providing equivalent thermal performance for standard industrial and commercial applications.
